Re: No maven2 on PPC64: wait or workaround?

[Deepak Bhole <dbhole redhat com>]

There is no workaround (other than converting+building with ant
ofcourse). I have received a request from another packager for maven on
ppc64 as well. Rather than waiting until 2.0.9, I think it'll be better
to building the existing one on 2.0.4 for now. It is on my agenda for today. 

Cheers,
Deepak
